IMPROVEMENT IN CH lCKEN-COOPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 2] 8,047, dated July 29, 1879; application filed May 3, 1879.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PAMELIA MILLAR, of Kenton, in the county of Hardin and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chicken-Coops; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The figure of the drawing is a representation of a perspective of my chicken-coop.

This invention has relation to chicken-coops; and consists in the improvements in the construction of the same, hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

A is a screen for protecting the coop or hennery from birds of prey. This screen is attached to and supported by the posts B, which stand in the corners of the hennery. These posts may be attached to the hennery or coop by suitable hooks or cords, or they may be driven into the ground, or the frame of the screen may be supported by the coop, thus dispensing with the posts.

Gare panels of suitable construction, provided with the half-posts 0, books 0, hinges c and eyes 0 by means of which they may be set up and securely united, forming a coop or hennery, or they may be taken down and folded up for storage or transportation.

One other feature of practical value is that henneries or coops constructed upon my plan can be made very light and yet be durable and serviceable.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a chicken-coop, the panels 0, having the half-posts 0, provided with the hinges 0 books 0 and eyes 0 in combination with the posts B and the removable screen A, as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

MRS. PAMELIA MILLAR.
